“Post-Erasures,” a suite of three prints, marks Chieko’s first foray into collaborative printmaking. These pieces are deeply layered, drawing from imagery that spans her childhood diary to references to the Tokyo firebombing campaign that her parents miraculously survived during World War II.
“Drawing on imagery from my redacted girlhood diary and archival World War II photographs, the series evokes my parents’ extraordinary survival of the Tokyo fire bombings—an event that sparked my interest in chance and randomness. A custom randomization code determined each circle’s placement, size, color, and opacity, generating unpredictable compositions. A pale image of ash-covered cheesecloth winds through the works, referencing the material used to wrap napalm in incendiary bombs, while a reversible geometric figure alludes to an uncertain present and future.” - Chieko Murasugi
“Post-Erasures II” is an original collaboration published by Multiplied Projects. A pigment-based inkjet print measuring 17 × 13 inches, it was printed using an EPSON Surecolor P700 with Ultrachrome inks. An edition of 14 with 1 AP and 1 PP was signed, dated and numbered by the artist. This full set of prints includes a handmade portfolio and colophon page.
